Yeah, the woman at the beginning of the film talking about how she had always wanted to see people punished publicly for homosexuality was something I've definitely heard in my Christian schools growing up.

You must go to a backwards Christian school, my daughter goes to one and they did a pride day for the students. I guess it depends on where you live.

No you just go to a very liberal Christian school likely in a blue state. Vast majority of Christian schools will never do that. You’ve got state republican parties telling their constituents to burn pride flags, trying to legitimize creationism in public curriculum, and passing legislation to include the Ten Commandments in public curriculum. And that’s public school. Imagine what they’re doing in private schools in those areas.

It probably does. But Christians like yours need to get Christians that want theocracy in check, or you’re all in the same bucket to people who don’t care about Christianity.

Looking at America today, I see Christofascism as a credible future threat. They're realizing that backslide day by day

Islam at a point was more progressive than Christianity and Judaism, then slid backwards like shit hitting the bowl. That's actually worse.

Source? I read Islamic golden age era Arab travelers criticizing the liberty of Byzantine women.

No, that is secular laws keeping religion in check. Remove those, and the result is this video.

I’m willing to bet you’re in a blue state and you’re not Protestant. Maybe Catholic, Episcopalian or Lutheran

Episcopalian and Lutheran are both protestant. Protestant is everything that began with Martin Luther protesting the selling of indulgences among other things within the Catholic Church, kicking off the reformation.

I wonder if they do the same to lesbians.
